Indicates Matter Stricken Indicates New Matter
The House assembled at 9:30 A.M.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
We thank You, Lord, for Your extended hand to us. May we seize it, and cling to it like filings clinging to a magnet, knowing that when we follow You we have no need to be overly anxious about the future. Dispel all worry from our minds as we have been taught that "worry pulls tomorrow's cloud over today's sunshine." Forbid that we should become so busy preparing for a rainy day that we miss today's sunshine. Lead us to be good examples for others knowing that the way we live is so often a child's classroom.
Hear us, Heavenly Father, as we pray in trust and thanksgiving. Amen.
Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by the SPEAKER.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were saddened to learn of the death of Columbia attorney, C. Heyward Belser on Thursday, March 3, 1994; and
Whereas, the death of this most distinguished statesman brings to a close the career of one of South Carolina's most distinguished figures in state politics; and
Whereas, during his Chairmanship of the House Judiciary Committee, he was instrumental in getting the South Carolina Constitution extensively revised; and
Whereas, Mr. Belser is the grandson of the late Duncan Clinch Heyward, Governor of South Carolina from 1903 to 1907; and
Whereas, Mr. Belser was also a gifted tennis player, playing competitively all his life and was a member of the South Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame with a string of titles in singles and doubles competition, too numerous to mention; and
Whereas, Mr. Belser was educated in the Columbia public schools and graduated magna cum laude from the University of South Carolina; and
Whereas, he was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of South Carolina's master degree program and received his law degree from Yale University; and
Whereas, during World War II Mr. Belser served as a pilot in the India-China-Burma theater and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross; and
Whereas, after the war, Mr. Belser practiced law in New York and Washington, D.C.; he returned to Columbia to establish and become the Senior Partner of Belser, Baker, Barwick, Ravenel, Toal and Bender; and
Whereas, in 1985 Heyward Belser joined Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Companion Corporation as Senior Vice President and General Counsel; and
Whereas, it is with great sadness that the career of such an extraordinary individual has come to a close, but due to his unselfish dedication to his State, he has ensured that generations to come will benefit from the work he has so diligently crafted. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly extend their sympathy to the friends and family of C. Heyward Belser of Columbia, former Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who died Thursday, March 3, 1994.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to his wife, Shelvie Culbreth Belser.
